Praise for Prussian Blue highlights the brilliance of Philip Kerr's storytelling and the complexity of his protagonist, Bernie Gunther. Described as a "sly, subversive, sardonic" anti-hero, Gunther navigates the treacherous landscapes of pre- and postwar Germany with wit and grit. Critics laud Kerr's ability to intertwine historical facts with human nature, creating a narrative that is both immersive and thought-provoking. The swift and adept storytelling captures the corruption and brutality of the Nazi regime, making for a gripping whodunit that resonates with readers. Kerr is celebrated as a master of narrative and characterization, drawing comparisons to literary giants like Raymond Chandler and John le Carré. His innovative approach to thriller writing challenges conventional genre limitations, offering a richly satisfying mystery that evokes noir sensibilities while forging new ground. The allure of these novels lies in Gunther's morally conflicted nature, as he confronts the harsh realities of his environment, embodying a knight errant in a world of chaos. With each new adventure, Kerr continues to captivate fans, proving that history, when told through the lens of a skilled novelist, becomes a compelling narrative that transcends time.
